Unusual Ice Cream Flavors From Around The World

July is National Ice Cream Month. As part of the celebration at Plans and Toys, I decided to do some digging into the most unusual flavors from around the world. Share them with your kids as an introduction to cultures. Depending on their palette, they may say “yum!” or “ick!”

Of course, it’s against the law to just eat chocolate and vanilla this month. You have to try something new! When I went on vacation last year, I took a spontaneous stop in Mayberry, North Carolina. I saw a sign for Moonshine Ice Cream and couldn’t resist! True, it wasn’t for kids. Still, there are more than enough non-alcoholic flavors adventurous kids can try. Make your choice from this list of flavors from the United States and abroad.

Other Fun Flavors Found Around The World

Durian. It’s an unusual tasting fruit that’s popular in Asia. With its strong smell (it’s outlawed some public areas of Asia), and not so sweet taste, it’s an acquired love. While it’s popular in Asia, you can also find it in China towns in the United States, like the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory in New York City.

Fun Toppings to Add To Your Unusual Ice Cream

Below is a bonus section of some fun toppings I came across. If you’re really adventurous (or, I should say, if your stomach is), try combining some with the above flavors! (Or at least talk about the possibilities). Some of these toppings will help you to get a taste of the unusual ice cream flavors without leaving the country. Review all the toppings here and make your own ice cream sundaes.
